Americana impressions from American life over the last seventy-five years inspires my Modern American Folk Art oil paintings. A black and white cat is placed in each complex painting, adding some whimsy to artwork focusing on the flag-bearing patriotism distinctive to the style; I emphasize multicultural modern family’s daily life, and their celebration of patriotic events and other holidays. Being married to a retired United States Marine has enhanced my patriotism for my country. I have also researched my lineage and have discovered relations participated in the American revolution. I am a proud member of the DAR. She includes the American flag in every painting as a tribute to our armed forces and to our returning veterans. I hope "we see and remember our history, our accomplishments, and our successes as a nation in these paintings. Using a lot of color with a strong composition represents the strength of America.”
